Soul Piercing Portraits by Alessio Albi

Came across Alessio Albi on Instagram when I was stopped mid scroll by the piercing eyes of her portraiture work. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but in this set I can’t tell if I’m looking into their soul or her subjects are peering into mine. If you take a moment there seemingly is a story to each photo captured in just the iris’s of Alessio’s subjects. What are they telling you?
